The man in El Cajon declares himself innocent to kill the mother and flee from the police

The man accused of killing his mother and putting his body in the trunk of his car does not have the opportunity to leave the jail.

Richard Leyva declared himself innocent today of charges, including murder.

According to prosecutors, surveillance images show that Jamison Webster, 51, will visit his son in a motel 6 on Tuesday.

It was the last place to say that they killed her.

A plea of ​​non -Guancia from Richard Leyva, 24, was received, accused of killing his mother, hitting his brother with a car and fleeing the police.

Prosecutors say Leyva moving their mother’s body was caught in a surveillance video.

“Her mother leaves the room, she returns later with some articles. And then, the next time we see her, it is later that night, when he drags her through the ankles of the sidewalk along the vehicle, puts her on the back of the trunk of the vehicle. Then enter the Motel 6 room again, ”said Yasmin Bigdeli, deputy district prosecutor.

Prosecutors also say that his brother came to see his mother later that afternoon and saw the body. He tried to prevent Leyva from leaving and was dragged while the car moved.

Leyva was finally arrested after being persecuted by the police.

The judicial documents obtained by 10News reveal that Leyva was previously diagnosed with “acute psychosis” in 2021.

And then diagnosed with an un specified bipolar disorder while in police custody by threats of the deputies with a knife.

Lawyers have not said how the mental history of Leyva will come into play.

Jamison’s ex -husband says they have been warned in the past about the behavior of Leyva.

“We had police officers to arrest it because I was acting crazy, making threats,” said Mike Webster. “One of the officers told us: If you don’t get help, someone is going to die.”

The Forensic Doctor’s office said there was evidence of strangulation.

Leyva is currently being held on bail and faces a maximum of 28 years of life.

His next date in the Court is scheduled for March 7.
